They don't know about code so always try to stood them the advantage and use and where you use this approach in real life. Kindly give him with real life example.

Should I explain them in theory as a topic and/or explain actual code?

In your first post you told that, the time is max of 10 minutes. So based on your initial question alone i assume that you are going to explain orally, not with code. If you go with code it will take atleast a day, since they are non-programmers.

Hope this helps!

You should cover these points-
Class
Object
Inheritance
Polymorphism
Encapsulation

You should cover above points with real world example.

If agree ,kindly accept the answer.

Old days programs were procedural programs which had variables and procedure. Object-oriented programming is an extension of procedural programming. Object-oriented programs contain variables, procedure, and six other features:

-Object

-Classes

-Encapsulation

-Interfaces

-Polymorphism

-Inheritance

You can choose these topics:
1. Class
2. Object
3. Inheritance
4. Polymorphism
First 2 are mandatory and the rest of 2 you can easily explain. Hope this helps!
